Does your company need D & O Insurance?
Recently, a small business owner decided it was time to put a board of directors in place for his company. After several years of growth, the owner felt a board could help focus the company’s direction. Upon learning this, several people mentioned that it was prudent to get directors and officers liability insurance.
Directors, officers, and organizations are held accountable to investors and shareholders for the financial management of the company they work for. They take strategic risks for the growth of the business. Sometimes the choices they make can impact the business negatively, which can put them at risk of being sued. This insurance can be key to your business’s risk management plan.
If you are running a public company Directors and Officers Insurance could be the deciding factor in bringing on a qualified Director.
D & O Insurance demonstrates your professionalism and ensures you’ll have protection and world class representation if you and your fellow directors are ever sued.

Breaking News
Stocks are up in the biggest single day gains we’ve seen in a while. Led by higher than expected profits in the big banks and a reversal of tax cut plans in the UK.
Is it a real reversal in a downward trend or just a blip? None of the “good news” attributable to these gains seem like a long term trend building event to me.
No one wants to hear it, but the interest rate hikes will put a real crunch in the economy as housing and construction starts stall under the heavy load of the cost of borrowing.
I’m staying on the sidelines for now.

Stocks rally ahead of big Q3 earnings week
U.S. stocks soared on Monday — buoyed by a round of solid bank results and a reversal of tax cut plans in the U.K. — as investors assembled for a big week of corporate earnings.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) closed up 2.7%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) gained more than 550 points, or 1.9%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) surged 3.4%.
Bank of America (BAC) was the penultimate of the country’s six largest banks by assets to report earnings on Monday. Shares rose more than 6% after the company revealed trading revenue that beat Wall Street estimates. Stronger-than-expected results from Bank of New York Mellon (BK) and brokerage Charles Schwab (SCHW) also helped lift sentiment.

Bank Stocks and ETFs in a Rising-Rate Environment
October 13, 2022 by Herb Blank
According to Investopedia, the industry that is best equipped historically to deal with a rising interest-rate environment is banks. Generally, higher rates have led to wider spreads which in turn have led to higher profits for regional and money center banks.
Therefore, we looked through Bank ETFs to see which ones our models found attractive now as measured by the ValuEngine Rating for 6-to-12 month ahead price performance. The answer was none of them. All of the Bank ETFs in our system currently rate 1 (least attractive) on the 1 to 5 scale. Therefore, individual stocks seemed like the better place to look for potential opportunities in this industry sector.
